Our Thermal Assembly Systems Offer You
the Fastest,
Most Reliable and Versatile
Assembly Process Available

Sonitek manufactures a complete line of high quality thermal assembly systems for inserting and staking thermo-plastics. Each system is built to standard specifications or can be custom built no matter how sophisticated your assembly needs.
Sonitek thermal processes simplify set up, operation and tooling change over - resulting in less downtime, higher quality and more production. Our innovative "System Controller" is easy to use with no diagnostic programming required. All machine functions and diagnostic messages are displayed in plain language - English, French, Spanish - at the touch of a button.

At Sonitek we apply the science of thermodynamics and utilize our 40 years of "hands-on" practical experience to provide our customers with reliable, quality engineered systems for practically every secondary thermal application used on thermoplastics.


Typical applications where thermal assembly was used to install inserts or heatstake on multiple planes or points in one angle.

At Sonitek we apply the science of thermodynamics and over forty years of experience to provide our customers with reliable, high quality, engineered systems for practically every secondary thermal application used on thermoplastics.

Our thermal technology offers the versatility, speed and interchangeability of tooling that today's manufacturers expect. Our experience and expertise in application engineering, tooling design and support makes Sonitek the leader in the field of thermal assembly equipment for plastics products.

Our engineering staff is available to assist you with design and application guidance to insure the success of your thermoplastic assembly. Our team of engineers, including manufacturing, design application and sales engineers, carefully review all avenues for the most productive, cost efficient and ergonomic tooling approach for your project.

At Sonitek we draw from our years of experience from working with some of the largest corporations from all over the world. Our fast accurate process is the answer for a reliable and repeatable assembly process with no material limitations.

 


Six point staking system on two angles. A removable thermal linear thruster is mounted for two 45° angle stakes.

 


Insertion of two large brass inserts. Custom tips manufactured to hold insert for pre-heating prior to insertion.

Staking 32 posts (8 per part - 4-up) in one cycle. Fixturing incorporates integrated post-cooling. Work was performed on a 2-position sliding fixture.

With our forty years of practical "hands-on" experience
you can c
ount on Sonitek to provide you with high quality,
reliable systems for your assembly needs.

Custom part clamping plate mounted to tooling head to apply force to parts prior to and after staking.

 

At Sonitek we are secondary to none!
